Grandma Lillian's Vegetable Beef Soup

"I always loved my mother's vegetable beef soup and enjoy making it myself. The only change I've had to make is to use beef shank or stew meat in place of the soup bone that she always used. It still tastes the same!! Mom passed away in 2006. My niece and her husband recently had a baby girl that they named after Mom. I made a pot of this soup to take to them and printed out a copy of the recipe for them. I'm posting it here so as not to lose it and for anyone who would enjoy a hearty, filling soup."

Add the macaroni and simmer till macaroni is done, about 10-15 minutes. Do not boil with the macaroni in it or the pasta will fall apart.

  1. Even though temps are soaring, that didn't stop us from enjoying this delicious soup for lunch. So easy to prepare, and the tomato soup/beef broth makes a nice flavored base. Other than adding about a tsp. of salt, followed directions to a T, and wouldn't change a thing. This will go into our soup rotation. Thanks for sharing your mom's filling soup recipe--Happy July 4th, catsoplenty!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>Middle-aged mom of two young men in their 20's. I go through stages of not wanting to cook and then going crazy with new recipes!! This site has given me plenty of new recipes to try!! <br /><br />My family and friends probably think I'm famous for my baby-back ribs, cajun buttermilk chicken, my oh-so-easy chicken riggies, taco pizza, chicken wing pizza, artichoke pizza........and a few more!! Some I got from other sources........the pizzas are just my version after having them from local pizzerias. <br /><br />I don't have a favorite restaurant. So many are good.</p>
